Hugo,

Nope, I'm afraid these 2 wouldn't help you one bit. Then again, I'm rather sceptical about the chances there's anybody out here who would have any use for these. Maybe I'll try putting them on eBay, although I don't really want to go through the hassle of all that...

As for the performance increase, 2 thumbs up and a big grin. This was an expensive upgrade (over 400 euro's), but definately worth it. The only high-performance things I do on the laptop are VNS renderings, but there's a very clear increase in speed there. It no longer needs to swap and consequently it won't run out of swap memory anymore on a typical project.

A somewhat faster hard drive would be an interesting investment as well, although my gut feeling says ram is a better way to speed things up.
